The epicenter of the world remain so as cases near 162,000. Thats almost 9,000 more cases than spain, the country with the second highest amount of patients. Hi, everybody. Its going to be a huge show when you see our roster of guests, especially. What i notice, too, a lot of the models that just use the numbers that they were given projected a lot of things more severely than it actually turned out. For example, in california, they have done an extraordinary job to date. They thought they were going to have 4800 beds needed. They actually only needed 2200. Louisiana they said we are going to need 6400 beds. Right now they only need 1700. For new york, as you know, Governor Cuomo constantly saying he needs more beds. He needs only 15,000 beds. The projection was 58,000. Continue to do what we are doing. Because the numbers and the models are going in the right direction; steve. Steve thats right, brian. You know, when people during the show today, we are going to talk about how some inside the administration have said cracking down and closing the entire country essentially for at least a month was an overreaction. But, when you look at how the models are now being turned downward, thats a good thing. Do you know what that says . That says to me that what were doing is working. And the United States has rallied together in this time of need and we have figured out how to save lives. That lower estimate just is an affirmation that we have saved perhaps hundred of thousands of lives pause were social distancing. We do it every day. Thats one of the reasons why we are in three different studios right now. Coming up on the program today we know you have got questions we have got dr. Marc siegel. We have dr. Nicole saphier. We have dr. Oz. Also general jack keane. We have got secretary Eugene Scalia. And because it is good friday, Timothy Cardinal dolan. If you have a question for him. Email him. These are trying times. He will address americas spirit. Or you can find us on facebook. America together, a fox friends living room concert with country super star lee bryce. He has Something Real special for us coming up at 8 45 this morning. Ainsley his music is incredible. He has been a friend of the show. He wrote a new song which is something you need to wait around for, because it is worth it. We also have a big lineup. As you said today is good friday. Easter is on sunday. And thats supposed to be the big peak for deaths. That usually lags behind the number hospitalized. The hospital visits are down across our country. Showing signs that were all following the rules. So, good for you, america. An encouraging message for American Workers. President trump promising that the United States will recover from the coronavirus pandemic. Listen. We have tremendous stimulus. We have tremendous stimulus plans. We are going to have a big bounce, rather than a small bounce. But, we will be back. Ainsley unfortunately that bounceback could be months away. The mitigation efforts seem to be bearing fruit. The numbers are enormously improved. Let us hope we can open this economy in the next 4 to 8 weeks. Brian we have got to start doing what we are doing and thats to stand up a plan to open 00 economy again. Provide relief forever struggling americans told to go home and stop working. Lawmakers ramping up talks with secretary mnuchin the treasury secretary as democrats out of nowhere shoot down funding for Small Business. I didnt know Small Business was a democrat or republican thing, steve. Steve meanwhile the president is expediting help to farmers that provide our nations food tweeting, quote i expect secretary purdue to use all the funds and authorities at his disposal to make sure that our food supply is stable, strong, and safe. We will always be there for our great farmers, cattle men, ranchers and producers. Thats where were right now. Lets bring in our first guest to the day former ambassador to the United Nations nikki haley. Governor, ambassador, good morning to you. Good morning. Good morning, hey, guys. Steve there is a story out in the new york rather the Washington Post that says the president wants to reopen the country for Business Activity on may 1st when the federal social distancing guidelines ends. But the question is how do you do it . Where do you do it . As stephen moore, one of the president s advisors said, ambassador, Donald Trumps presidency depends on getting this right. Because, essentially, we dont want to go over the hump and then have another hump. The last thing you want is two peaks. So what do you think we do . I think the president and the administration are doing things right. What you want to do is make sure that the health and safety of people is number one. But you also want to have a second track where you are working on the economy. And that means that you keep going in the direction you are going with health and safety. And when we get to april 30th, then go and evaluate you know, have we reached the bench marks that we want to and what do we do to open businesses. The reality is you have got a lot of people who have already tested positive, who have already gone through it. Are we getting them to donate their plasma. That should be the first thing. The second thing is where are we in the testing . Where are the hot spots . What can we start to open up . I think to do this in a smart way, you have to have a health track and you have to have an economic track. I think both of those can move at the same time. But each is dependent on the other. So it will depend, april 30th, on where both of those stand. I think he is smart to be looking at both of them at the same time. Ainsley ambassador, Mitch Mcconnell is trying to get more money for Small Businesses because that Paycheck Protection Program they are going to run out of money. So many of these Small Businesses are going to the banks. Banks are saying they are overloaded with paperwork. They need more money but that didnt pass yesterday in the senate. Democrats did not like the republican bill. So heres the president talking about how our lawmakers need to work together. With congress to replenish the very successful, incredibly successful the way its going Paycheck Protection Program which is allowing hundreds of thousands of Small Businesses to keep their workers on the payroll, meaning it will keep those businesses open. We need both democrats and republicans to come together to get this legislation completed. And it looks like its on its way but we need both. And it should be for people that are working, for the workers. Ainsley Mitch Mcconnell said that his colleagues are treating the American Worker as political hostages and theyre playing games with a crisis. Whats your message to the democrats . I think bottom line is, there is no reason to believe that they couldnt have passed Mitch Mcconnells bill. It would help Small Businesses it. Would help workers. If they have Something Else they want to do, go ahead and pass that when you get your support and when you get the ideas to do that we need to get this program done. We have Small Businesses they typically dont have 45 days worth of reserves there. They have people who have been loyal and worked with them that they want to keep. They can only do it with this program. So now is not the time to be playing games. Now is the time to get money in the hands of those that want to keep employing people. Want to keep their businesses open. And while you have got members of congress fighting over this, there is no time to waste if you have a Small Business. They need the money now. Brian all right. As you know, there is very few people with more International Experience than you, especially our governor, and have you got this experience and you also know this administration. Now, there is a big push now as people starting to look around around say how did this happen . What did the w. H. O. Do . Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee and theyre calling for the w. H. O. Chief. I dont know if you have met him or not, to resign. After all what he said in martha china has done a wonderful job at containing this and try to rebuke the president for putting in the chinese travel ban, from not acknowledging the existence of tijuana. Do you think its time for this guy to resign he . Came back at us and said if you dont want more body bags, stop politicizing this. What do you think, governor . I think senator rich has it right. He wants to do a full investigation. I mean, look at the timeline. You have got december 30th tijuana goes and tells the w. H. O. We believe and have evidence that there is humantohuman transmission. Then you have juan 13th. The head of the w. H. O. Ted degree says we dont see any evidence of humantohuman transition. Transmission. A week later decide if its an international crisis. They dont make a decision that day. Instead tedroz travels to china to meet with them. A week later he comes back and says they decide, okay, this could be an emergency but you dont need to limit travel and you dont need to limit trade. Yet, the president does it anyway and tedros criticizes him for doing that the American People have every right to ask the w. H. O. Questions. The American People deserve to know why taiwan was ignored and china was listened. To say those are real questions that need real answers. The idea that he went back offer after the president and said do you want to see more body bags. I have dealt with those guys at the u. N. For a long time. Thats what they do. They turn the tables whenever they are criticized. And they have to be held accountable just like we would hold any American Agency accountable. This was a world pandemic that they could have stopped as soon as a month prior. We pay 22 of the w. H. O. Doesnt mean who pace the most gets what they want. But it does mean we deserve answers and we deserve to hold them accountable and he has a lot of questions to answer right now. Steve no kidding. If we had just known so much more ahead of time we might be in a different spot right now. Meanwhile, in the pages of the new york times, which a lot of people arent picking up. They are actually reading online. You have got an oped. And it is the headline is you say focus on your governor, not trump. What are you saying, former governor . Well, what i said is in the oped is i say, of course, the president has to manage the federal response. Thats what a president does. But once he pushes that aid out, then it is up to the governors. The governors have to know whats in their warehouses. They have to know how to distribute it to the people. They have to know where the hot spots are. They typically know the vulnerabilities. They know their hospitals. They know their mayors. They know how to coordinate. Have you seen governors on both sides of the aisle really shine through this process. And then you have seen some governors who have actually been somewhat complaining and not sure what to do. And, you know, its just talking about the way that government was intended to run. When i was governor and we knew a crisis was coming, we developed those relationships with the feds. We warned them of what we were going to need, where our vulnerabilities were going to be. When the crisis hit us, the feds sent it down and we were in charge of distributing it. So this is the time now where the governors are center stage and the states that are doing well, those governors are going to be praised for it. And the states that arent doing well, those governors need to learn from those mistakes and make sure that when this happens again they are prepared. Ainsley you and your husband have served migrate state, South Carolina, as you know where i was born and where my family still lives, and we thank you so much for your service. Your husband is in the National Guard in South Carolina. Tell the folks at home the news about what he is about to go and do. Well, he was activated about a week ago, along with other members of the military to help in the covid crisis. You know, its amazing he was deployed in afghanistan. Now he is deployed to help with covid19. And they are working to coordinate with hospitals to make sure that they have the beds available, to make sure that if they need extra space it is happening. It is once again the great men and women of the military are stepping up to do whatever is needed for their country. And this is what they do. They wait for the call. And when the call comes, no complaining, no questions. They get up and they do it. We are real proud of him. Brian governor, now president of the United States, he has Approval Ratings at 49 . Its as high as it has been in this very polarized country. When it comes to these 5 00 press conferences, some even on the right are saying hey, mr. President , run them but end them quicker. Because it ends up being so personal with him and the press. Where do you stand on that . Well, i think any time there is a crisis, a leader needs to do two things. One they need to overcommunicate, which he clearly is doing. And the second thing is they need to be able to show vision of what it is going to look like on the other side of the crisis. And i think that the president is good to show up every day and let people know he is on it. But, i also think he needs to let his experts speak. Let them talk about it. I think he should go and set the tone. I think he should let them put out the data. They should answer any questions that the press has and then they should leave. I dont think they need to be too long. I dont think he needs to feel like he needs to answer everything. But i do think we need to hold, you know, his members of the task force accountable. I think what would be really good is for him to have a Health Report but left of center have an economic report at the same time. Now were going to start to see both of those at the same time. But i think that there is a reason he has got a 44 approvl rating. People feel comfortable task force knows what he is doing. The Vice President has done a great job leading that the president has done a great job with the tone and putting priorities in place. And now we just have to continue to pray for all of them that they continue to lead and get us through this. Steve all right. Governor, ambassador, thank you very much for joining us from kiwah island in South Carolina. If you have to be anywhere, its a lovely place to be. Ainsley true. Steve thank you very much for joining us live. Thank you. Steve all right. Meanwhile, 6 15 here in the east. Attorney general bill barr has a stern message for critics who say we should not be focused on stopping drug cartels during the pandemic. Hear his response, plus reaction from acting cbp commissioner mark more dan. Mark morgan. Mark is coming up next. And well be here to serve you for a hundred more. It didnt take us long to realize. We werent in the car business. At lexus, we were in the people business. We needed to be helpful. Respectful. And compassionate. To treat people like guests. Its what we all signed up for.

The federal government, the Justice Department specifically has 115,000 peopleho are dedicated to protecting the public safety. Including preventing narcotics trafficking. And we are actually able to do more than one thing at a time. Drugs kill 70,000 americans a year. And we have to make sure that during this period the cartels are not taking advantage of the United States. Brian yeah, thats 10,000 more than this Current Crisis would kill in terms of americans. Meanwhile, the administrations attention to stopping the flow of drugs across our border continues while also combating the spread of the coronavirus. Here to discuss that acting cbp commissioner mark morgan. Tell us what is happening with the drug cartels. Have they stopped trafficking because we have a corona crisis . No. Brian, i mean, thanks for bringing this to the attention of the American People. I mean, anybody that criticizes this attorney general right now for attacking a significant threat that that plagues this country will continue. Thats ridiculous. Whats the next criticism that he shouldnt focus on terrorism . As he said last year 70,000 people in this country died because of drugs at the hands of these disgusting, despicable cartels. Yeah we should absolutely continue to focus on that. Hallmark of cbp we can focus on more than one threat at a time. More people died because of drug overdoses than the coronavirus. We need to keep this in perspective. Brian especially when people go through stress. If you have a drug problem you go through that again and drugs more readily available it makes it worse. Mark, give us an idea whats happening at the border. With this crisis we basically close the border. Give us what thi
